Federer lost to Dominic Thiem in his opening match of the AT Finals 2019 but later defeated Matteo Berrettini on Wednesday.
Federer, who beat Italy's Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday to move to 1-1 at the ongoing ATP Finals, will face Djokovic on Thursday with semifinal implications on the line.
Thiem, who had stunned Swiss legend Roger Federer in straight sets last Sunday in his first match in Group Bjorn Borg, came from behind to defeat Djokovic on Tuesday evening.
Nadal, leading their head to head by 5-0, failed to resist an on-fire Zverev, who defeated the top seed 6-2, 6-4 for his first win against the Spaniard.
Notably, it was a first opening group match win for Thiem, world number 5, who is competing at the season finale for the fourth consecutive year.
In the year-ending tournament, the five-time champion took just 64 minutes to drub Berrettini in the Group Bjorn Borg opener.
